Seeing is Believing

Seeing is Believing

Seeing is Believing.

Does that mean one who is blind does not believe,
does not believe in faith in God,
does not believe in obvious truths,
does not believe in a lover they can trust with their heart?

Hearing is Believing.

Does that mean one who is deaf does not believe,
does not believe in faith in God,
does not believe in obvious truths,
does not believe in a lover they can trust with their heart?

Talking is Believing.

Does that mean one who is mute does not believe,
does not believe in faith in God,
does not believe in obvious truths,
does not believe in a lover they can trust with their heart?

Walking is Believing.

Does that mean one who crippled does not believe,
does not believe in faith in God,
does not believe in obvious truths,
does not believe in a lover they can trust with their heart?

Belief is a double-edged sword.

It can either free us to see the world with curiosity, hope and love,
or enslave us to see the world with rigidness, helplessness and hate.

We humans like to believe
that we can choose our path,
that we can build our home,
that we can grow our food
and all is well.

Yet we quite often face lessons that we must learn and grow from,
One lesson being that seeing is not believing.
